Holiday in Loire

Castles and clinking glasses...

A sloping wooded landscape with vineyards, medieval villages, lush gardens and packed castles. If you like all these things then the Loire is for you.

Castles

try cycling along the Loire, sailing a traditional boat on the water or endless walks along the shore. The River Loire runs for miles through the French countryside with much to discover. What you mostly find in the Loire Valley are the castles. In the fifteenth century the French court took possession of the Loire so we still can enjoy imposing castles like those in Blois, Chenonceau and Chambord.

Culture and cuisine

The field of art in Orleans, on the north bank of the Loire, has a lot to offer. The Museum of Fine Arts, one of the richest and oldest museums of France offers a large collection of sculptures and paintings. The Floral Park de La Source is a rich park is divided into different areas with many species of flowers and animals. Worthy of note is the greenhouse with exotic butterflies of all colours of the rainbow. Also near Orleans there are numerous castles to visit. The castle of Sully-sur-Loire, 44 miles away, is a real medieval castle surrounded by a beautiful park of 25 hectares. Tired of walking? Why not end your holiday with a well-deserved cheese and wine tasting in the Loire!
